YES, use a condom ALWAYS. Yes, if you have an outbreak near the the time you go into labor, you may need a C-Section to reduce the chances of transmitting the virus to the baby when it passes through the birth canal.

Yes you can get pregnant if you have herpes, it doesn't do any thing to your fertility or reproductive system. Most doctors prescribe antiviral medication which is safe to take, a few weeks before the baby is due, to help prevent outbreaks.

The risk to giving herpes to a baby happens at the time of delivery. If the baby comes through the birth canal while there is an outbreak then the child could contract it. If there is no signs or symptoms of an outbreak then you can have a vaginal birth and a healthy baby.
Herpes infection does not affect the ability to get pregnant. Women with herpes work closely with their health care providers during pregnancy to reduce the risk of transmission to the baby during delivery.

you can catch herpes just by having oral sex with someone who has a cold sore, if you partner has a cold sore it does not mean they have herpes it is just a common cold sore wich most people get, but you should never have oral sex when you have one because it can cause this.

***Additionally, many people who have the disease are asymptomatic (have mild to no symptoms). The spread of this disease is still possible even when no sores are present. This disease can be transmitted from oral to genital and vice versa. The best course of action is to be as honest as possible and exercise safe sex practices.

You can still get pregnant. Herpes does nothing to your reprouctive system, and it doesn't affect your fertility. You can take antiviral meds to help prevent outbreaks, or you can plan to have sex in between outbreaks so you would be less likely to pass it onto your partner.

Mothers with herpes can also have a safe and natural birth if they want to. Most of the time doctors prescribe antiviral medication a few weeks before the due date. If the mother doesn't have any signs or symptoms of an outbreak then she can deliver the baby with a very low chance of passing herpes to the child. If she wants to avoid having any risk of passing herpes to her baby then she can have a c-section which will completely eliminate the chance of passing herpes onto the baby.

First, it's important to understand that lack of outbreaks of herpes doesn't mean that a person doesn't have herpes virus. If you think your partner doesn't have herpes because your partner has no complaints, you may not be aware that many people with herpes don't know they're infected.

Second, it's possible that you haven't transmitted the virus to your partner.

If you have herpes and would like to get pregnant, it makes sense to talk with your health care provider about strategies to have sex while reducing the risk of transmission to your partner. In addition, medication may be helpful in reducing outbreaks during your pregnancy. It is possible to manage this safely for all of you.

He also has the plague.


If you have hurpes can you still get pregnant?

Absolutely YES! Genital herpes may be passed from one person to another through close physical contact. This means sex and practically anything else that can lead to sex. This includes kissing, oral sex, anal sex, etcetera. Genital herpes does not keep you from getting pregnant. In fact, if you or your partner have genital herpes you should see a doctor immediately. The doctor can show you how to use safer birth control so you don't pass the herpes virus to each other (or anyone else) and do his/her best to make sure you don't get pregnant. Babies born to mothers with Herpes generally contract herpes when they are born from the vagina. Many times, women with genital herpes are forced to have a caesarean delivery (when they cut her tummy open and get the baby out) just to protect the baby from getting Herpes. This is VERY SERIOUS! See a doctor and learn what to do to protect yourself and your partner and NOT get pregnant until you learn more.
